Its my honor to say.... there is so much detail in this. Seriously! For a white belt this is where you want to start... because in your rolls you are likely finding yourself in all the disadvantageous positions like me. I haven't watched the entire series yet.. but Im frquently having my guard passed and being stuck in side control. I turned to that section first and have had some good ideas immediately help me at gym.
Great instructional clear and concise techniques
Very helpful!!! I love the way Bernardo teaches. His technique is perfect for a big guy like me. The escapes work just like he displays in the video. It’s a great instructional video.

This is an excellent video to review occasionally to refresh the skillset. Bernardo Faria is a skillful instructor.
Very helpful info. Thank you Bernardo
Knowledge. I love this site all the access to the art I love
Great explanations from a world champion and teacher. Solid escape techniques
I am very impressed with this instructional. Very well put together and easy to follow. Certainly a lot of valuable content that I can use right away. I will definitely purchase more in the future.
As a junior blue belt, I found Mr. Farrias' video so clear and concise! Great detail! This will really help me with my defensive ground game. Highly recommended!
Very High Quality Instructional. Bernardo is so smooth with many escapes. Worth every penny!
Great content and demonstrates important details that Bernardo finds most effective. Definitely has helped me be more confident in certain positions as I explore more escapes. I still have a lot of the video to see still, but it’s been great so far.
it is very helpful both beginner and advanced player
Has helped me escapes positions I usually get stuck with. Video explains tremendously well. A MUST have!
This video presents a lot of different techniques. After thoroughly enjoying - and applying to my game - Faria's 'Pressure Passing Encyclopedia' and 'Battle Tested Pressure Passing' (both excellent) I felt confident that this would be great as well. Faria presents a whole slew of different escapes from a variety of positions. I've found the most successful focusing on 1 or two, watching them over and over, then testing them out in my next training sessions. Watching the whole video and trying to apply it all is like drinking from a fire hose. Highly recommend.
Very detailed , game changer Excellent teacher
J ai aimé le concept. On travaille beaucoup les soumissions et les contrôles. Mais les sorties sont essentielles. Et surtout ça permet de mieux anticiper et controler ses propres soumissions et positibons.
When it comes to position and teaching Faria is really very professional.
Bernardo covers a lot here. A must have for Bjj practitioners
GOOD EXPLANATION
This has been a great opportunity to learn more about escapes and it helps also think about how not to get into that spot in the first place.

Very detailed, easy to understand, thank you
Bernardo is continuing to transform my game. Great content!
Very clear and useful escapes
Excellent content from an enthusiastic and technical instructor!!
The escapes were good and a bit different than I know at the moment. I liked it, especially in combination with pressure passing.
Good techniques
Good techniques!
This is great. I'm really bad at escapes, and I think this will help me greatly. With all the baddest competitions showing the offense nowadays, we're missing out important, defense details that we won't see much in competition videos. If you can't find it in YouTube or in your gym, this will save your neck by a mile-shot. It's a great start in BJJ!
Great resource.
Great escapes from a great coach and will be watching more of his video. Thanks again to the one and only Bernardo faria.
Tweaked my escapes
Good explanations and good demonstrations!
Great
I've learned a lot from this. BF is a very expert teacher and introduces you to many aspect of the "escape art" that are very interesting and applicable
I got this for free and its realy nice to watch now becaude of the lock down (corona virus) Thx one love for the help and suport to bbj people out there
Outstanding value. Bernardo's instructions are clear and precise with excellent details. As an older practitioner, I have limited mobility and find Bernardo's instructional particularly helpful as the techniques and strategies shown do not require rapid dynamic movements. Thank you Professor Faria
Amazing video. Faria is one of my favourite teacher and the way that he teach is really efficacy to improve my BJJ game. Great!
My coach always says a blue belt should know and be able to get out of (most) bad positions. Professor Faria teaches just that in this series. I highly recommend this package for anymore wishing to improve their escape game.
I use a lot of flexibility in my guard game and i drill a lot of escapes using this quality. Whenever my guard get passed i use inversions or spins to recover, but i needed some basics escapes from positions like a strong back take or a mount. I have not been able to train due to the health and social contingency in my country, but ,watching the videos i have been understanding a lot of details and concepts that I previously overlooked
I am a white belt and found that defense is probably the best thing for me to learn at the moment. This series is great and very helpful. The explanations are clear and detailed. Provides a great foundation of escapes to build off of. It is a ton of information and will take a while for me to absorb it all, but I'm am completely satisfied with this purchase!
Great vids
This has helped me escape mount a ton
Great job with exactly what I need. Added quite some details and techniques to my game so I can annoy my partner even more from any position :smile: "Thought you had a good safe position there..? Whoops, nope, sorry!" :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Prof. Faria has amazing instruction that is easy to follow. Cannot wait to try these simple variations and see how they improve my game!
Bernardo Faria's Escape from Everywhere is amazing. In this DVD he shares a lot of finer details that will up your defense game tremendously! Definitely a must have for any practitioner always seeking to grow.
A lot of the escapes I have seen but the detail of how to escape and end up in your dominant position was great
Faria does a good job explaining the techniques. I found it very useful.
Excellent details and easy to add to any game. Highly recommend.
